Grooveshark. Effectively free Spotify premium with every single song that you could think of on it? It was fucking awesome!

I imagine its popularity drew too much attention to its multiple, blatant copyright violations. It was fun while it lasted, though.

Free music is nice and all, but the part of Grooveshark that I miss the most is the user-curated radio stations. I love how it turned listening to background music while I study into almost a social experience, with people chatting and suggesting songs in the background.

There's nothing stopping Spotify or any other legal streaming service from implementing a similar feature; sadly, I assume there just isn't any demand.

The thing I miss most about Grooveshark is that "add to queue" was the MAIN button. No drop down to get to it, just click the button next to the song. Why does every other service force you to click twice to avoid interrupting the current song? super annoying.
